Most iPhone 4S users are still waiting for a jailbreak for their device. It is more than a month now since iPhone 4S was officially released and still there is no news about Jailbreak availability. I believe the iPhone 4S users would still have to wait for some more time to get a tethered jailbreak for iPhone 4S.

Are you exhausted with typing long names, words and sentences and thinking how to generate shortcuts of text? Fortunately, one of the new characteristics of iOS 5 is capable to do that. Such as, instead of typing the complete sentence “On my way” you just need to type “omw” and iPhone will automatically change this short form to its actual full expression.

The iPhone tested for the Transformer mode. Fail is written all across it, we just wonder who actually would tried this. Totally understand all of us are intelligent but there just might be one of the users who thought the Airplane mode meant getting your iPhone in the air.

The diagnosis held by an iPhone app developer proves that iPhone is suffering from a chronic software problem. This test methodically proves that the much complained about battery problems are software based rather then hardware. Phew! a sigh of relief, well at least it can be cured rather then changing the over all hardware specs.

Two iPhone devices were tested independently. Both having the same hardware, iOS ver. 5.0.1. Their model and release date was similar. They were even bought from the same location and also using the same network (AT&T). Just to make sure all other differences are avoided to check for their battery performances avoiding hardware differences. The two phones however had different iPhone apps. stored. One was using beta applications to test while the other was a regular use iPhone with out any unorthodox applications.

There has always been a constant niggling about how bad these smart phones are when it comes to their battery life. One should not forget the kind of task these gadgets are capable of. Though these devices are really smart bringing the functionality of a Desktop Computer in to your palms, they do need some serious energy to keep on with it. Once out of battery they are as dumb a machine can be.

We can’t obviously compare these to the first or second generations mobile devices. For example the Nokia phones that lasted days with a single recharge. Mobile back then were communication tools, SMS, calls, radio were all the high end features they offered. With the iPhone, Android devices, things have evolved, your mobile phones are pocket PCs. You can’t expect them to last for 7 days on a single recharge, however one can expect the manufacturers to build more powerful batteries. If not days, they should at least last for a day.

If you thought the word had little reasons for you to LOL, you need to think again. All you need to do is trust your iPhone Autocorrect or any other autocorrect on any other phone and send messages that are everything but sane. We thought about putting up a list of top iPhone Autocorrect Fails in this post to share with our readers. The purpose, to start the new week on a lighter note and warn you to not trust Autocorrect.

This was bound to happen with all the hype prior the release of the next generation of the iPhone. The iPhone 4S, being a disappointment for many who were expecting an iPhone 5 with a large screen and what not, the release was marked by the news of the sad demise of Steve Jobs and of course the death of a mindset as well. However the iPhone 4S has broken all records, as usual hitting 1 Million sales in just one day.

The legacy of Steve Jobs will live in the Apple products to come. I am sure we can expect his approved designs for the next one year at least, given the guy [and of course the folks at Apple] though well in advance like any other great technology company. I dislike the new iPhone 4S, but that’s just me [and I know I can never justify why I dislike the device], but it is definitely a great piece of hardware sitting in the same old crappy iPhone 4 design.

That’s it. This is perhaps the last round of rumors you will be reading here before the next generation of the iPhone is announced by Tim Cook a few hours from now at the Apple Media Event. This is certainly one of the most hyped up events since the launch of the original iPhone back in the day. Maybe its because a lot has happened during this short while, from Steve Jobs stepping down as the CEO of Apple to the brand actually introducing two models of the iPhone simultaneously. The iPhone 4S and the iPhone 5. Read More »

If you thought what exactly made Apple run after Samsung and accuse it of infringing its patents, you are at the right place to have that answered. Following are a few pictures that surprisingly reveals how the Korean manufacturer had earned a bad name. And more importantly destroyed its Reputation.

If you still think Apple was wrong, think again, this is ultimate. I just wonder what new patent wars will open up with the release of the iPhone 5.

While we wait for the October 4 Apple Media Event, the news of the next generation of the iPhone continue to surface. While the design more or less remains a secret, we have seen everything from the hardware specifications of the iPhone 4S to the cases of the iPhone 5. However, Sprint was once again up with revealing the availability of the iPhone 4S and the iPhone 5, today it was Radio Shack revealing the same.
